Five Sub-regions, Each with Its Own Character
Published in November 2026
Port Dickson District, located along the western coast of Negeri Sembilan, is much more than a popular seaside holiday destination. Beyond its well-known beaches and resorts lies a diverse landscape of historic towns, traditional villages, modern townships, fishing communities, agricultural settlements and natural attractions.
To make the district easier to explore, PortDickson.net divides the area into five geographical sub-regions: Jimah, Port Dickson City Center, Si-Rusa, Pasir Panjang and Linggi.
These five sub-regions provide a convenient way for visitors to understand the district's geography and discover places of interest. Each has its own identity, local communities and attractions, reflecting a different side of Port Dickson.
1. Jimah
Located in the northern part of Port Dickson District, Jimah is characterised by its rural settlements, agricultural surroundings and newer residential developments. Its notable places include Bukit Pelandok, Chuah and Springhill, together with Tanah Merah Site A and Site C.
The area offers a glimpse of Port Dickson beyond its familiar coastline, where traditional settlements and modern developments exist side by side.
2. Port Dickson City Center
Port Dickson City Center represents the main urban and commercial heart of the district. For PortDickson.net, this sub-region extends from Lukut in the north to Bagan Pinang in the south.
It includes Lukut, Kuala Lukut, the main Port Dickson town centre, PD Waterfront City and surrounding residential neighbourhoods such as Kampung Arab, Kampung Gelam, Taman Seaview and Samudra. The Bagan Pinang area, including Avillion Port Dickson, also forms part of this visitor-oriented urban region.
